Ran out of fuel due to “old flight plan”. Allowed to land by Iran.

Ok, I’ll ask...What was our military plane doing in Iranian airspace? The plane may not have been over Iran, but was skirting outside of the border where the Iranians intercepted it.

“Old flight plan” ????

Hey, the MSM believed that Benghazi was a movie review, and that the IRS doesn't keep backups of its employees' e-mails.

Fox reported that Iran ordered the plane back to its origination and file the right plan. The plane said it didn’t have enough fuel to return, so they were allowed to land.
